I’ve Been Wrapped Up In Renner

May 14, 2012 By 4 Comments

Ever since I saw “The Avengers” I’ve been obsessing over Jeremy Renner. He plays Clint “Hawkeye” Barton in the movie. He had a small role in “Thor” as well. Of course he was in “The Hurt Locker” and “The Town” as well.

I can’t believe the guy is 41 years old. I think someone is lying. I mean, just look at him!

I Can Haz?

His eyes are like tropical waters that you could just swim in for days. Oh and guess what else? Not only is he an amazing actor but he can sing as well. I know what you’re thinking. A ton of actors think they can “sing.” Jeremy actually can!

Here is he singing “American Pie” from “Love Comes To The Executioner.”

I actually made this my ringtone. Don’t judge. Here he is singing “Stuck In The Middle With You” with his family. While wearing sunglasses. And relaxing.

You don’t even understand. The first time I listened to “American Pie” I had to stop because I couldn’t handle the hotness. Oh, speaking of hot…here is playing a bad ass Sheriff in the video “Trouble” by Pink.

I can’t wait for his next movie. He’ll be starring in “The Bourne Legacy” in August. Don’t worry, he’s not replacing Matt Damon. He’s playing a new character. I’ve heard there’s a motorcycle chase which sounds amazingly hot. It’s obvious I have a thing for guys who can play bad asses and do it well. It doesn’t even matter if he’s a “good guy” or a “bad guy.” If he’s kicking ass, firing off weapons or driving really fast, I’m in (See: John Reese Person of Interest). Then early next year he’ll be in “Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters.” I believe he wears leather pants in this movie which is always a good thing when you have an ass like this:

Dat Ass

Alright, I better stop before this get’s out of hand!

6 Movies + 16 Hours = Soreness

May 5, 2012 By 8 Comments

Thursday I took off work in order to attend the AMC Marvel Marathon. That’s right, I use vacation time wisely! The event started at 10:30am with “Iron Man” and ended at about 2:45am with “The Avengers.” It was such a fun time! I attended with a friend from Twitter and we got along great. We both agreed it was a great event for a first time meet. I was surprised at how quickly the time passed. I’m surprised that I never felt tired either. I really thought I would’ve ended up dosing off during “Thor” or “Captain America” but I stayed strong! I think most people in attendance managed to stay awake but I know at least one person left early. Really? You made it through 4 movies and paid $40 and you’re leaving? Man up!

Loki

It was a full house for sure with people rocking everything from shirts to full out costumes. The ladies were out numbered but we stayed strong. I even noticed a few cute guys but I’m pretty sure most were too young for me. I even let one guy borrow my bag in order to sneak some burgers in during our “dinner break.” That was the nice thing, we did get breaks. They were normally between 20-27 minutes but we did get a 45 minute break for dinner and I think we had a 30 minute break between “Captain America” and “The Avengers.” Obviously they couldn’t start the last movie until 12:01. You should have seen the crowd waiting for the Midnight showings though! We were told 2,000 people were waiting but I wouldn’t be surprised if the number was higher. Some people were even waiting for a 3am showing because the Midnight options were sold out! Crazy, right?

Even though I had a great time, I don’t think I’d do a Marathon like this again. I’d attend a Midnight Showing for sure but I don’t think I could sit on my ass for that long again. My whole body was sore, even my jaw! I have no idea how to explain that one. By the last two movies, I couldn’t stop shifting and moving around in my seat, that squeaked. I mean, I have a hard time sitting still normally because it’s hard to get comfortable in those seats.

Anyway, I know I’ve already said it but everyone must see “The Avengers.” It was an epic movie and I can’t wait to see the final numbers for the weekend. It already did $80.5 million on Friday alone. I even plan on seeing it again tonight! I know it sounds crazy but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a $200 million final box office!

Here Marvel, Take My Money!

April 30, 2012 By 4 Comments

It’s not like I need it to pay bills or anything. I seriously can’t stop buying “Avengers” related stuff. I think I need a support group. I don’t think I’ve bought this much stuff for one thing since my Nsync days! That’s how bad it’s getting. Don’t believe me?

Here’s everything I’ve bought in the past week.

This doesn’t even include the stuff that I held in my hands and debated about before putting it back on the shelf, like an Avengers Tumbler that I found at Barnes & Nobles and the Hawkeye figure I saw at the Disney Store. The little Minimates, I planed on just buying one set and you see how that went. Oh! Or the Dr. Pepper my mom bought because each can features an Avenger. Yes, even my mom is involved. She’s an enabler! Don’t even ask how much I spent on that poster. I tried the legit way and was shut out which means I turned to Ebay. Granted, I snagged a better “deal” then most but still.

The best part? This doesn’t even include the items I’ve been buying to put together my own version of a Hawkeye costume. Yes, you read that correctly. I’m working on putting together costume hopefully in time for the Baltimore Comic Con.

I need help.

Ebay FTW

April 26, 2012 By 1 Comment

Over the weekend I finally got around to cleaning my room and found some random stuff from San Diego Comic Con. Since I need to make room for more random stuff, I placed some of it on Ebay! As of right now, two out of the four items have bids and another one is being watched. How awesome right? My Carol Ferris SDCC Barbie is going for $45 right now and Community Season 1 is at $13.50! I’ll make money back on the Barbie but the DVD actually cost me nothing which means 100% profit baby! I’m selling a Conan O’Brien SDCC shirt and a pack of Syfy buttons/pins as well. Again, both of those items were free. I know I could probably just give some of this stuff away but I have bills to pay!

Of course I’ve been buying stuff on Ebay but that’s another post. What’s the last thing you sold on Ebay or maybe at a yard sale? Ever sell anything super awesome or been surprised at how much something sold for?

MD SPCA March for the Animals

April 24, 2012 By 4 Comments

This weekend (Sunday) is the Maryland SPCA March for the Animals! That means you still have time to donate if you’d like to sponsor me. My goal is $800 but I’m just over $200 at the moment. I don’t expect to meet my goal but any donation is appreciated! You can donate via this link. It’s safe and secure! All the money raised goes directly to the shelter to help provide a safe and loving place until the animals can find a Forever Home. The funds are spent on health care, food, toys and other items that are needed!

You can learn more about the MD SPCA here.
